Episode 421
[Then, let’s take over the details from this afternoon. Yura will explain in detail.]
Contrary to Roger’s statement that he would explain in detail, Yura did not say anything the entire time they were walking around the city.
“Please take good care of me. Seniors.”
In the end, Shin Yoo-seong smiled and spoke first, and Yura lightly frowned.
“I will tell you in advance.”
Yura suddenly turned to Shin Yuseong. Following Yura’s gestures, her long black hair fluttered and flowed down the suit draped over her shoulders.
The moment Yu-seong Shin felt a déjà vu feeling as if he had seen this scene somewhere, Yura coldly shot at him.
“I don’t know if Master acknowledged you, but I didn’t.”
Shin Yoo-seong, who was wearing a suit before he knew it, touched his awkward body as if he were wearing clothes that didn’t suit him. The hunters in the green forest seemed to wear suits as their basic attire, at least while wandering around the city.
In the worst case, he had to catch the monster, but he had to move while wearing such uncomfortable clothes.
“I understand.”
I couldn’t understand Shin Yoo-seong before, but I could understand Shin Yoo-seong now. It was not only the cumbersome suit, but also Yura’s attitude.
“I understand. You cannot entrust your back to someone you cannot trust. Is that the story?”
He thought he would immediately shoot at his sharp attitude, but Yoo-ra’s eyebrows twitched at Shin Yoo-seong’s too relaxed response.
“Uh… that’s right.”
Yura felt strange.
Why is it that there is such an atmosphere in a barely student subject? Shin Yuseong gave off a strange atmosphere, like a religious person who went into a mountain and transcended the world.
“How old were you?”
“I will be in my second year soon.”
“…Is that so?”
As if the steam had disappeared, Yura broke down and walked down the street again. Many people recognized her as a celebrity, but no one spoke to her because of her unique sharp look.
Took-
Yura kicked the gravel towards the ruined building.
“There. can you see The city guards have sealed it off.”
As Yura said, the building that the city guards sealed off with the police line was particularly gloomy. The existence of a building like this in the middle of the city where people go usually meant that a monster had appeared.
“Looking at the place where the 5th grade boss came out casually. People are not afraid.”
“Do you go right in?”
If the one hiding in the building was a 5th grade boss, the strength was just about Lilith. It was a boss that Shin Yoo-seong could face alone.
“No, this boss only comes out at night. So, gather here in two hours and do whatever you want until then.”
After that, Yura was about to leave. It was promised to meet in two hours, but Shin Yoo-seong calmly walked along with Yura.
At first, Yoo also thought that the roads just overlapped, but after turning the alley, Shin Yoo-seong followed him for a long time, and in the end he frowned again.
“Why are you following me?”
As expected, Yura reacted sharply, but did not panic. Shin Yoo-seong had already experienced a colleague with this personality.
‘Oddly… they look alike.’
okay. It’s like a crustacean.
Isn’t the fact that even a wolf is protected with a hard shell to protect the fragile inside? Shin Yoo-seong felt that it was necessary to find out why Yura reacted so sharply to new recruits.
“I want to be with you.”
“No, what do you like? Can’t you see I’m being territorial just by looking at it?”
Of course, Shin Yoo-seong was the first person Yura treated so kindly. Most of the newcomers kept their distance from Yura’s harsh appearance.
And that was also convenient for Yu.
‘But what is this guy?’
Rather, Shin Yoo-seong’s eyes seemed to see through Yura’s essence. I thought it was just a smirk, but something creepy.
“Why do you want to be together?”
In the end, rather, let’s keep a distance from Yura and take a step away from Shin Yoo-seong.
that buck
Shin Yoo-seong took a step closer to Yura.
“I have to trust my opponent. I can have your back. In order to do that, you have to understand your seniors first.”
There was no naive boy in the world that had just descended from the mountain. Shin Yoo-seong mastered how to deal with people through interactions with his colleagues.
From Yura’s point of view, if the person who said this much was sent back, that would be an act of coercion.
“That’s right… But did you say you’ll be in second grade soon?”
“yes.”
“…okay?”
Why are you so relaxed and acting like an elder when you’re not yet an adult? Yura wanted to argue that way, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it because it seemed like he was admitting defeat in a childish way.
“Do whatever you feel like. then follow me I’m just going to eat anyway.”
In the end, Shin Yoo-seong won points in an instant from Yura’s territorial attitude. Shin Yoo-seong was the only rookie who went to eat together from the first day.
* * *
Yooseong Shin inferred that the restaurant Yura would choose would be a quiet, hidden place in the city center, but in reality it was an ordinary family restaurant.
Since it was dinner time, family visits were frequent, and I could hear children talking.
“You are famous in the world.”
Yura said while skillfully slicing hamburger steak, a popular menu among children, with a knife and fork.
“Then did you look for it while I was consulting with the guild master?”
“Yes, yes.”
Yura tucked her long hair over her shoulder as if it was getting in the way. Then, he chewed the hamburger steak he had picked up with a fork, keeping his mouth shut.
“Catch me!”
“It’s my toy! give it back!”
Yura, who had been completely focused on food for a while, smiled lightly when she saw the noisy children passing by.
“……You said you were having a party, right?”
“yes.”
“How close are you with your co-workers?”
“I would not waste my life for my comrades.
“okay?”
What does Yura want to say? Yura ate the hamburger steak again in silence. In the meantime, he naturally stretched out his chopsticks at someone else’s fried shrimp, but Shin Yoo-seong thumped! and skillfully blocked it.
“You look like an old man when you say this… Because you look like a good guy. I’ll warn you. Don’t get too close with the party members.”
After finishing the meal, Yura tied her hair in a ponytail on the spot. Seeing this, Yuseong Shin thought that Yura really resembled Eun-ah.
Of course, if there was anything completely different, it was the exposed skin on the neck and the scratches that could be seen through the clothes. That was evidence that Yura was working as an active hunter before the minor wounds healed.
“Is it okay if I ask why?”
Because of this, Shin Yoo-seong could not leave Yura alone. The conversation so far was simply for team play, but somehow Yura seemed to be in danger, so I couldn’t just let it go.
“reason? Of course, that kind of mind doesn’t do anything to break the mission. If you value your colleagues too much…”
Yura smiled and picked up a piece of fried shrimp. Then, as if the tempura were tangled together, another tempura of shrimp came up dangerously. Yura scooped the fried shrimp up to the tail and took a bite.
And then, mum-mum-two fried prawns without tartar sauce and that’s it.
“Even when it breaks… it breaks together. Do you know what I mean?”
Shin Yoo-seong saw the place of the missing fried shrimp. The generous amount of 3 pieces of fried shrimp were left with just one gesture from Yura. If this was a party, the results were dire.
But Shin Yooseong endured. Enough time. The lack of fried shrimp had to be reordered.
“What did you do before you joined the guild?”
“I won’t answer. There is only one question I receive per day. I’ll just tell you that I had a party too.”
However, Yura did not even give a sincere answer to the subject of eating two fried shrimp without shame.
However, Shin Yuseong’s question was not meaningless. Looking at the empty plate with a bitter face, Yura was clearly thinking of someone.
“Of course, there were colleagues like you who were as precious as life…”
Yura closed her eyes.
A man’s voice echoed in Yura’s ears.
[…Yura. The only thing left is this method.]
The wounds on the body heal quickly. If you are injured, if you have a scratch, you can get treatment at the hospital. But the wounds in his heart were scars that could not be erased.
“Because you say this. I think he’s dead. Now… I heard he’s awake and living well.”
Ahaha, Yura forced herself to laugh and stood up.
‘…Right.’
It was a short conversation, but Shin Yoo-seong found out what caused Yura’s behavior so far. I understood her only with the brief information revealed.
Of course, the answer wasn’t perfect. To put it simply in two lines, he’s not a bad person. That you are someone you can trust.
‘I guess that’s about it for now.’
But for now, that was enough.

The promised capture time.
I saw a new meteor and a ruined building. Then, without an error of one minute and one second, the sky darkened and the pocket responded.
《Warning》
─Gate activation risk level 5
─Type: [Gate]
─Dungeon name: Phantom Dance
ㅡLocation: Delta Tower
“It’s started. After all, the promise of time is like a knife.”
When Yura touched the pocket, particles of light spurted out and instantly turned into hunter equipment.
“You don’t need equipment?”
When Yura moved her chin and tried to hand over the mana machine gun, Shin Yoo-seong shook her head.
“I just need my bare hands and a pair of comfortable clothes.”
Hwaaak-!
Black dragon robe
Shin Yoo-seong’s body was put on a black uniform instead of a formal suit, which was uncomfortable. It wasn’t armed with the latest weapons like Yura, but this was a state where Shin Yoo-seong could show his full potential.
“I will conduct an ID check for entry!”
One of the city guards besieging Delta Tower approaches the two and demands identification. As if Yura was so used to it, this time, the hologram appeared with a single touch.
“Level 6 Hunter… Green Forest Guild. yes It has been confirmed.”
The city guard reacted with a surprised face when they saw the word 6th grade. When Yura entered the building, even though they belonged to different affiliations, they even saluted.
This was a kind of courtesy to the hunters who risked their lives in the field.
“I’m worried, but this dungeon will focus on checking your skills. Are you fine?”
This was the reason why Yura chose the 5th grade dungeon for downward support. Shin Yoo-seong had to be recognized in this test so that he could be put into real missions, including level 6 dungeons.
In response to Yura’s question if Shin Yu-seong was alright, he wrapped blue mana all over his arm and said.
“yes. I will finish soon.”
‘I’ll finish it soon.’ Some might consider it a bluff, but this was absolutely not a bluff. Rather, it was a very humble expression for Shin Yoo-seong.
